2011 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · KY60 NNV

The 2011 Volkswagen Touran passed its most recent MOT on 20 April 2026 at 176,259 miles, just under two months ago, so the certificate is current and the record is highly relevant. The maintenance trend is mixed but broadly stable. The tester flagged a Nearside Front tyre worn close to the legal limit and noted the rear sub-frame is corroded, though not seriously weakened, with suspension components also corroded and coated. These are not new failures, but they confirm an ongoing pattern of surface corrosion and consumable wear that has persisted across multiple tests rather than escalating into fresh structural or mechanical defects. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 11,751 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a gap of about 16,784 miles between the June 2024 pass at 159,475 miles and the June 2025 test at 168,951 miles, then a further 7,306 miles to the April 2026 pass at 176,259 miles. There are no obvious anomalies suggesting long-term standing or sudden high-intensity use, and the annual increments are consistent with regular, steady driving rather than neglect or extreme wear. The recurring theme in this record is corrosion rather than acute mechanical failure. The rear sub-frame and rear suspension arms have appeared as corroded but not seriously weakened in tests from May 2024 through April 2026, and the June 2025 failure specifically noted the sub-frame and suspension arms were heavily coated with rustproofing. That coating may have slowed deterioration, but it also masks the true condition of the metal underneath. A buyer should inspect the rear sub-frame, rear suspension arms, and mounting points in person, ideally on a ramp, looking for perforation, flaking, or previous patch repairs rather than relying on surface coatings. The Offside Front wheel bearing excessive play flagged in May 2025 did not reappear in the 2026 pass, suggesting it was addressed, but it is still worth checking for play and noise. Tyre wear is another consistent issue. The Nearside Front tyre was worn close to the legal limit in April 2026, and both front tyres were heavily worn on inner edges and outer walls in May 2025. This points to repeated misalignment or worn suspension geometry, likely linked to the corroded rear arms and sub-frame. A buyer should check tyre wear patterns across all four wheels, inspect inner sidewalls for damage, and consider a full four-wheel alignment check. Under-trays have also been repeatedly noted as obscuring components, so any in-person inspection should include their removal to properly assess brake lines, fuel lines, and structural underside condition.
